We don't have transmission stats on hsv1.

Have you ever been tested? Ever had a cold sore?

67% of people under 50 have hsv1 globally, and 90% of those never get symptoms. You could have it and not know it. If you have it already, you have antibodies that protect you from getting it in another location.

However, even if you test, the hsv1 IgG blood test misses 30% of infections. You could test negative and still have it.

Hsv1 is very hard to avoid, and not something to freak out about.
